Use case

Sometimes a file corrupts, it just hapens. However shared_preferences completely crashes in this case. This is on its own is not bad, however it provides the application no reasonable action to resolve the situation. The only solution is to crash, and leave the user unable to start the application.

Proposal

shared_preferences should allow for resetting the preferences, which can be used in case of corrupt settings. Optionally, backup/restore functionality would be nice, but this may be out of scope.
